TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD

The other night we discovered that a mockingbird, in search of love and romance, had relocated to our back yard. He was having a great time, but he annoyed the heck out of us because his beautiful music was keeping us awake. Fortunately he either found true love or moved on to greener pastures. That is the problem with mockingbirds; they tend to make people want to kill them.

When I heard that mockingbird, I couldn’t help but draw the obvious connection with Donald Trump. He is the ultimate mockingbird. While I have serious concerns about him being the next President of the United States, it is hysterical to watch him take on Hillary Clinton. This is the ultimate mismatch. Donald is all about personality and Hillary can’t even spell personality.

It gets worse. Hillary has managed to escape scrutiny by the main stream media for decades. Now, because Donald has ruffled her feathers, she has is making wild accusations about him, some of which are actually true. That creates a huge problem, for her.   For the first time, the press is actually doing some Clinton research and they are finding lots and lots of garbage. Donald has gone where no man dared go before and this has the potential to destroy the Clinton myth.

This does not mean that Donald is suddenly more acceptable as a candidate for President of the United States. This just reminds me that in a war, there are always casualties on both sides. Perhaps the real question is in how much damage Donald will do to himself in his quest to destroy Hillary?

For example, it has been obvious for some time that the DOJ has sufficient grounds to indict Hillary Clinton. They have not done so because of her political protective force field. But if it becomes obvious that Hillary is destined to lose big time to Donald Trump, we should not be surprised if that protective force field disappears overnight. If Hillary is indicted there will be incredible pressure on Democrats to indict Donald Trump, for something. It is possible that the Trump University case has already provided them with an opportunity to seize the day. Keep in mind that Democrats already have a history of indicting Republicans they consider to be a threat. Just ask Tom Delay and Rick Perry.

I firmly believe that if Donald Trump succeeds in destroying Hillary Clinton, Democrats with the full support of the main stream media will do everything possible to return the favor. Democrats, unlike establishment Republicans, are not exactly good losers. I am absolutely certain that a high percentage of them would rather burn down the entire system than let Donald Trump win. Based on what we already know, they won’t exactly have a problem obtaining ammunition. I am far from certain that this will work, but they are sure going to try. They are far more dangerous than Trump’s Republican opponents because they won’t be deterred by minor distractions like facts or ethics.

What does it take to kill a mockingbird? We may soon know.
